52 Week 2: Water

Week two, and I've had a go at photographing water droplets:

52 Week 2: Water

As a first attempt I'm quite proud of it, although I intend to revisit the idea sometime and make improvements

The setup for this was a Speedlite (Canon 580 EX II) off to the left of the camera, firing at a white piece of paper positioned behind the tray. Camera was in Manual, set to 1/250 at f/9.0 on my 17-85mm IS lens. Flash was in manual mode as well, set to 1/32 of full output. The colour cast was obtained by setting the white-balance to tungsten (on a daylight-balanced flash) in post-processing.

I'd like to thank Gavin Hoey for his excellent video tutorial on the subject.
